CAMP JUPITER - 3rd Person (haven't really done this before, tell me what you think!)

Octavian was looking surveying the area, they were situated on a hill, (the one right next to Half-Blood Hill but they didn't know that). Suddenly, someone came running from a hill to the right, yelling , "OCTAVIAN! OCTAVIAN! OCTAVIAN!" running all the way to the top of the hill. When he got to the top, he started panting, and squatted placing his hands on his knees.

"Well Johnny, spit it out!" Octavian said, while simultaneously using a toothpick*.

"First of all, my name is Jack,and second. The magic border, its crumbling. By this giant big rock pile thing, in the middle of the woods!" Jack said, slightly annoyed, his arms crossed.

"Geez! Why didn't you tell us sooner," Octavians eyes grew to the size of quarters, he abandoned his toothpick and signaled to two burly looking sons of Mars.

"Well lets say, the border is crumbling A FOOT A MINUTE! Anyways, it seems to be growing rapidly, and we were trying to figure out what was going on," Jack said, looking slightly scared by the advancement of them.

"Daniel and Damone go tell everyone, to meet at the rock pile in two hours!" Octavian said, he turned back to Reyna, "You see, I can lead people." He smirked. Reyna responded by tossing her hair and turned around.

"If you don't mind, I need to get ready." She said, her fists clenched, as she walked with a determined stride. Suddenly a flash of yellow light starting to sear the ground, in a circle, astonished Reyna turned around, and immediately shielded her eyes. It turned into a column of burning light, then, an energy blast emitted from the column, standing in the wake was a woman with blonde hair and startlingly piercing gray eyes. "Your, your, Athena, right?" Reyna said, kneeling to the ground.

"What makes you think that?" she said, swiveling in the direction of Reyna, her eyes met Reynas, and a smirk curled at her lips.

"You remind me of Annabeth," Reyna said, holding her ground.

"Smart aren't you?" Athena's eyebrows quickly rose and fell, "Yes I am Athena, and I am unlike other Roman Counterparts, far more fiercer that Minerva." She said casually flipping open a celestial bronze switch blade, then polished it with the handkerchief she got from her pen pocket on her white blouse. After polishing, she snapped her fingers, and it appeared in the pocket of her jeans. "Well, All I really want to say is," she started as she paced around, twirling her extremely long switchblade like a baton, " If you succeed it will cost you, a punishment, sometimes worse than death. If you fail, a reward awaits you." She finished, and casually switched back her switch blade and placed it in her back pocket. She started to glow gold, everyone had the common sense to turn away. When the glow had died away, all that was left was a scroll, with an orange ribbon. Reyna walked up to it, and lifted it up. She gently tugged at the orange ribbon. When she opened the scroll, a bright beam shot up to the sky, it lasted for just a second, then went away.

"Well, here is what it says, Scimus haec, et parati sumus. For you slackers, it means we know you are here, and we're ready. Underneath it are signatures, lots and lots of signatures. Even Jason's, Frank's, and Hazel's," she confirmed. Then, a ominous chilled seemed to sweep over, and everyone seemed to shiver. The shadow of a nearby tree started to get darker and bolder. Taking the shape of a boy walking. It morphed into a familiar tall boy. He had long shaggy black hair, a slightly tan skin, and dark eyes. He wore a pure black V-Neck with black and gray Cargo Pants. Around his neck were the beads they had seen Jason, Piper, Leo, Annabeth, and Percy wearing. He wore a silver belt with a Ruby Skull as a buckle. On his left arm was a black stygian obsidian knife. A wooden sheath was strapped to his hip.

Suddenly, it became very silent, and the boy muttered, "The calm before a storm, perfect." He pulled from his pocket what looked like three ninja stars, then the sky turned dark. A huge roar echoed. A few seconds later, the sky turned blue, and sun shone again. The boy was standing over the body of a hellhound. A huge hell hound doberman with fangs. Ninja stars seemed to make a straight line along the flank of the dog, and his sword had cut a huge gash on the side of the neck. The boy pulled out his knife and tapped the dogs head, "Be free, may your essence return to Tartarus. Suddenly the hellhound exploded into dust, spraying boy with this sickly yellow powder. "Pah," he breathed, a cloud of dust erupted from his mouth, "Schist," he muttered, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Care to repeat what you said?" Octavian asked, standing in front of the boy, now with two different goons. All three of him looked down on him, arms crossed.
"Schist, a group of medium-grade metamorphic rocks, chiefly notable for the preponderance of lamellar minerals such as micas, chlorite, talc, hornblende, and graphite. After spending some time with Percy, Leo, Frank, Jason, Annabeth, Piper, and Hazel, well not really with Percy and Annabeth but you get the idea. Anyways, I am," he said, as confidently as ever.
"Nico Di Angelo, am I right or not?" Reyna said, looking at him in a weird way.
"Bingo, I've known Percy and Annabeth for a long time now. They were nice to a kid like me, annoying, little, curious. And they took me in. They created a place where I was welcome. Not treated like some outcast Pluto's representative," He gave them a small smile, "Anyways, I am here to let you know, that you are not taking this camp, my home, Camp-Halfblood so easily. Trials and tasks await you as soon as you enter camp, through the collapsing border. You, will probably want to get right back up, and home to your Camp Jupiter, It will be too late, since, the border will magically seal you in. All I'm saying, if you continue your path, you might wanna watch your back." He turned to Reyna, and winked, then melted back into a shadow.
"Octavian, what are we going to do?" Jack asked.
"Attack camp," Octavian said.
"Well, who says Octavian gets to say anything huh? Reyna's the praetor," Lexi brought up turning to Reyna. Everyone turned to her.
Reyna smirked,"Suite up in your finest Imperial Gold armor, and bring out your best Imperial Gold weapons, we have a camp to raze!" She said, "Now excuse me, I need to get the fifth cohort ready, they need the most help." She saluted them, and she and Lexi walked to the fifth cohort tent. The farthest away, and least luxurious.

*don't all like snobby people use toothpicks or something? I don't know if it fits octavian but yeah.
